That sucks, wonder what happened. Hopefully they'll get to perform together at another event. Adam is one of my all-time Idol favorites and if the Queen band members themselves feel that he is worthy, then who are we to say he's not? These are guys who knew and loved Freddie Mercury more than anyone.
